Tangles

San Francisco, 1999. Sarah Leavitt (Jacobson, Broad City) is living life to the fullest, having recently fallen in love with her girlfriend Donimo (Samira Wiley, Orange Is the New Black) while working her dream job as an illustrator at a cool, queer magazine. But Sarah is soon forced to leave her exciting life behind to return to her eccentric family in Maine to care for her increasingly ailing mother, Midge (Louis-Dreyfus), who’s once vibrant spirit is fading due to Alzheimer’s disease. Torn between two worlds, Sarah must confront the heartbreaking realities of this devastating condition, while reconciling her complicated feelings for her family and her new-found relationship. With incredible warmth and humour, expressive animation, and an all-star supporting cast featuring Seth Rogen, Sarah Silverman, and Bowen Yang, this deeply affecting film from director Leah Nelson is guaranteed not to leave a dry eye in the house.
